O’Hara admitted to federal bar

John O’Hara, the irrepressible Brooklyn lawyer and erstwhile politician got some good news earlier today: he’s now allowed to practice law in federal court, despite his albeit questionable, felony voting fraud record.

The odyssey of O’Hara’s effort to regain his law license after members of the Brooklyn Democratic machine charged and convicted him of voter fraud (it involved his marking a wrong address on voting information) is a long and well documented one.

Here’s what O’Hara received after a federal court hearing:

Dear John Kennedy O’Hara,

On 04/01/2011 you have been admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
